The man can do no wrong — Karl Lagerfeld, the “king” of fashion, never fails to amaze us with his many styling and design talents (not to mention the 30 iPads he carries with him at all times). LagerÂfeld’s difÂfuÂsion line, Karl, launched January 25th and is sold exclusively online at Net-a-Porter.
Alike to his own personal style, the budget collection features black and white clothing and accessories retailing from $50 for a canvas tote to aprox. $1,000 for leather pieces. As to be expected, Karl’s trademark fingerless leather gloves make an appearance as do fabulous faux colors. Among the 70-piece collection are 8 pairs of shoes, from metallic sneakers to gladiator sandals, the footwear is simple yet impressive.
We can handle the trademark Karl profile on the tees and tanks, but what about the shoes?! Walking with the support of Lagerfeld on your soles would sure put a pep in our step (we’re just sayin…it’s suggestion for the next collection).

One blog post featuring Isabel Marant sneakers. Two blog posts featuring Isabel Marant sneakers. Three. Four…the features highlighting the infamous designer’s kicks are flowing in, so why not have DNA jump on board the sneaker train?!
Worn by both celebrities and bloggers, Isabel Marant is making her mark on the footwear community. Thirty-something Parisian Isabel Marant’s designs are a style not a trend – Spotting a gap in the market between the elaborate and inaccessible of the Paris catwalks, Marant caters to strong active young women. A mix of minimalist and bohemian, the designer makes clothing and accessories at affordable prices… that is if you consider $600 for invisible wedge sneakers “affordable”.

It may be easy for women to find New Year’s Eve shoes, but for most men the task is daunting. Here is a brief guide to NYE shopping for Men:
1. Stick to basic black, which goes with everything and is classic.
2. Don’t spend more than $150 on shoes you most likely won’t wear more than a handful of times per year.
3. Oxfords, loafers, and evening sneakers are your friend.
4. For the love of all things fashionable, match your belt to your shoes!

 Leave the holiday party attire behind because today we’re kickin’ it old school with high-tops. According to Converse, between 1948-1958 high top sneakers made their first appearance on the fashion scene.
With the invention of Rock & Roll came the Rock & Roll “uniform” consisting of jeans, a leather jacket, and of course…high-top sneakers. Around the time the high-top sneaker was introduced so was The National Basketball Association, growing up together in fashion/sport unison.
Today, the high-top sneaker can still be seen among teens and young adults — a classic that lives on.

Leave the velour tracksuits behind because Juicy Couture is a whole new brand of cool. Who would’ve thought that a tiny tracksuit company could spawn a pink revolution filled with perfume, jewelry, kid’s clothes, and footwear?!
Juicy Couture grew in popularity in the early 2000′s because of celebrities like Madonna and Jennifer Lopez. What many don’t know is that the company we knew and loved began as a maternity line. With the idea of comfort in mind, Gela Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy made couture affordable. Since its start in 1994, Juicy Couture has expanded to kids clothing, accessories, pets, and shoes. Their motto of decadence and couture turned into comfort translates into their shoes as well, with deep rich colors, and jewelry inspired logos.
The brand we loved so much as teens is back and better than ever with platforms, sandals, boots, espadrilles, and slippers.
Viva La Juicy!
